UKJV - John - 7

7:1  After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.

7:2  Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.

7:3  His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart behind, and go into Judaea, that your disciples also may see the works that you do.

7:4  For there is no man that does any thing in secret, and he himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.

7:5  For neither did his brethren believe in him.

7:6  Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always ready.

7:7  The world cannot hate you; but me it hates, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

7:8  Go all of you up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.

7:9  When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.

7:10  But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

7:11  Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

7:12  And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceives the people.

7:13  Nevertheless no man spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.

7:14  Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

7:15  And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knows this man letters, having never learned?

7:16  Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

7:17  If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

7:18  He that speaks of himself seeks his own glory: but he that seeks his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

7:19  Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why go all of you about to kill me?

7:20  The people answered and said, You have a devil: who goes about to kill you?

7:21  Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and all of you all marvel.

7:22  Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and all of you on the sabbath day circumcise a man.

7:23  If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are all of you angry at me, because I have made a man everything whole on the sabbath day?

7:24  Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

7:25  Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?

7:26  But, lo, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

7:27  Nevertheless we know this man whence he is: but when Christ comes, no man knows whence he is.

7:28  Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, All of you both know me, and all of you know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom all of you know not.

7:29  But I know him: for I am from him, and he has sent me.

7:30  Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

7:31  And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ comes, will he do more miracles than these which this man has done?

7:32  The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.

7:33  Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.

7:34  All of you shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither all of you cannot come.

7:35  Then said the Jews among themselves, Where will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?

7:36  What manner of saying (o. logos) is this that he said, All of you shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither all of you cannot come?

7:37  In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

7:38  He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

7:39  (But this spoke he of the Spirit, (o. pneuma) which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Spirit (o. pneuma) was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

7:40  Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, (o. logos) said, Truthfully this is the Prophet.

7:41  Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?

7:42  Has not the scripture said, That Christ comes of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

7:43  So there was a division among the people because of him.

7:44  And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.

7:45  Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have all of you not brought him?

7:46  The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.

7:47  Then answered them the Pharisees, Are all of you also deceived?

7:48  Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?

7:49  But this people who knows not the law are cursed.

7:50  Nicodemus says unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)

7:51  Does our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he does?

7:52  They answered and said unto him, Are you also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee arises no prophet.

7:53  And every man went unto his own house.
